From today, Australians will be able to take their old iPhone or iPad into any
of Apple's 21 retail shopfronts across the country to get credit towards a
newer model.
Apple's Reuse and Recycle program has been running in the US since 2006 and
launched in the UK in 2012. In these overseas regions, customers can not only
bring in their old iPads and iPhones, but can also recycle desktops and
notebooks from both Apple and other brands.
In Australia, Apple promises consumers up to AU$250 credit when they bring
their old iPhone into an Apple Store, and up to AU$215 for an old iPad. This
credit can then be used to purchase either a new iPhone or iPad, while Apple
will set about "responsibly recycling" the older model.
In an official statement, Apple said the program was part of its broader
environmental focus, which also includes running all of the brand's Apple
Stores on renewable energy.
"iPhones and iPads hold great value," said an Apple spokesperson. "So, Apple
Retail Stores in Australia are launching a new program to assist customers who
wish to bring in their previous-generation iPhone or iPad for recycling.
"In addition to helping support the environment, customers will be able to
receive a credit for their returned iPhone or iPad that they can use toward the
purchase of a new iPhone or iPad."
